Officers say a group of black men were seen driving a maroon SUV around Jacob Brunner Drive and Worthington Court Saturday afternoon when one of the suspects got out of the vehicle and approached the victim.
Investigators explain the suspect did not say anything to the victim, just simply walked up to him and punched the 16-year-old in the face. The suspect then returned to the SUV and the group drove away.
A witness told authorities that there were at least three other men inside the SUV and one of the suspects was videotaping the assault.
Police report a similar incident occurred a week ago near Thomas Johnson Drive. Officers searched the area immediately after the attack but did not find suspects or a victim.
In this case, investigators say the vehicle was only described as being a blue or dark colored SUV.
Authorities do not know if the two assaults are related.
I went through the training and background checks so that I can protect the lives of my loved ones when the Police aren't around.......NOT to be a wanna-be COP or crime fighting super hero whose job is to eradicate all the evil punks who would dare cross my path..
I will not Pop a Cap in 'Em, or Plow 'Em, or Drop 'Em in their tracks.
I will however, use all means necessary to STOP an identified threat to protect my life or the lives of those in my care.
All the keyboard bravado is just playing into the hands of the "The Cops will protect us from the bad guys" crowd (Sarah Brady and company) who want to "Get all the evil guns out of (what they feel are) the wrong hands"......Ours.
Special Thank You to the Moderators for allowing this discussion.....I'm done on this one.
